Upon leaving school Rikki was thrust into the ‘University of Life’, working as a sound engineer for one of New Zealand’s most legendary bands Th’ Dudes.

The skills and experience Rikki accumulated during 18 months of solid touring with New Zealand’s (then) leading rock band set him on his way to becoming one of the most in-demand sound engineers in New Zealand.

He is always keen to get behind a console! Why not see if he can mix your band or local production?
